Hi ladies, could you please recommend a podiatrist in Central or South London that doesn't charge a fortune to have a pinkie toe corn removed. Thank you!

Google? State reg chiropodist. Shouldn’t be more than £30

Could you do it yourself? It’s not hard with a callous knife

oh yes. If you haven’t already, watch some YouTube videos to get an idea. I pare it down with the protected blade and that works well enough on mine.

Just Google it in your town and then look at the Google reviews

Did it come back after or no? And what was the healing process? Basically, if I remove mine, can I wear shoes pain-free right away?

I just use corn plasters and they're gone in a few days.

Accord is just a buildup of hard skin. Any chiropodist will remove that in about five minutes. If you have a Scholl store near you, they might have one

Lol “a corn “

Every podiatrist I found so far charges £80 or so.... I don't know where to find these cheap doctors :(

Appreciate the response but I am posting here obviously because I want a recommendation and not a "google it" advice :)
